Upcoming AARC Events

It's My Park Day | November 2 at 10 a.m.

Help us get the AARC Senior Garden cleaned up for another year of growing! This garden provides space for seniors who come to the AARC’s Senior Program to spend time gardening together, learning, and sharing the harvest. However, stones in the pathways need to be cleared of overgrown grass so it’s safer for the seniors and other community members who are visiting. Volunteers will join AARC staff to help us clear these pathways and beautify this space. We will provide tools and gloves, but please bring your own water bottle and wear work appropriate clothing for outdoors.  Sign up for a shift on GivePulse.
